Effects of additional neck cut of the femur on the range of motion in total hip arthroplasty for hip dislocation: a computer simulation study.

CONCLUSIONS: In THA for high hip dislocation additional neck cut should be taken into consideration for hips requiring less than 15-mm shortening. For more extended corrections a subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy should be performed.
